convert E: /FS:NTFS


You can perform this on a device that has files on it such as a USB disk but probably best to take a backup beforehand ;).

Mac OS X "SOE" Day 7

Page Redirection > continued from day 6... In summary, here is my method for creating a Mac OS X 10.7.3 Standard Operating Environment "SOE" Image. Overview The goal is to create a "MASTER" non-booted SOE that can be used with multiple models and it multiple sites with different local requirements.

Mac OS X "SOE" Day 3

Page Redirection > continued from day 2...

Basically machine/model specific settings. localise - runs localisation scripts such as language, locale etc etc. Basically a set of dynamic scripts in case you are an admin for multiple offices, multiple countries. So what's the minimum we need in the "build" phase? Disable the Setup Wizard. Disable the Registration Wizard. Create a local admin user(s) and set autologin for the firstboot phase. Enable root (set the password). Enable SSH Access Enable VNC Access Enable ARD Access Disable softwareupdate automatic updates "schedule" Cleanup/Minimise the dmg where possible. Set a firstboot loginhook for the second phase. What are some other n...

IIS looks normal, but site won't load.

Someone updated .Net Framework on Win2003 server (required for another app). Unfortunately didn't check existing IIS sites and their requirements so it broke a custom c# web site. Uninstalled without error in the OS, but website still 404ing, reboot and iisreset didn't fix it. "%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ VERSION \aspnet_regiis.exe" –i Then iisreset. All good :) Read about it here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h(v=vs.80).aspx
